Prego Mego – Week 33 (BABY BOOK!!)

29Apr

This week I am 33 weeks pregnant with Cohen!

First off, I’m SO excited about the baby book! It arrived today and I think it is beeeeeautiful!

Dupioni silk is so pretty and I picked royal blue. I was going to do Cohen’s monogram but I decided to go with his name. I got the idea for this book because it is the same as our wedding book. Our wedding one is champagne with our married monogram and no ribbon. Anyways, I opened this book and found the sweetest little pages! There are tons and they have embossed little images on them. I ordered some extra blank pages I’m going to have lines printed on for hospital and home visitors to sign.

These are not all the pages, but a few I snapped pictures of……

LOVE it 🙂

Things are moving right along. The weeks and days are flying by! We are still busy. I’m having more and more moments when I wish I wasn’t busy. It’s really inevitable right now though. I wish I was snuggled on my couch more days and nights but whining about it would get me no where.

Another special blessing delivery arrived this week! Cohen has a prayer quilt now 🙂 It’s amazing and I will post it soon.

My hair has gotten thicker. I got it thinned. I just get too darn hot.

When I stand up after sitting on the couch, my thighs and legs hurt so bad. I figure this is because of the extra weight. I’m not really sure but I do know that sometimes I feel like I’m going to fall, ek.

I can tell Cohen’s kicks and jabs are becoming less swift. I bet this means he is getting bigger and is running out of room.

I still see a lot of movement on the outside.

He is still getting the hiccups quite often. They sometimes tickle me.

My tummy has gotten harder but I’m pretty sure I can pinch fat. That’s probably not a great sign, haha.

He is head down a lot more lately. I’m getting those shooting pains down low. Lovely. Overall, I’m having a bit more pain and discomfort, but I’m sure that is normal! I’m probably like 5’2″ tall and 4’5″ wide.

I’m still waking up about once a night. I’m hurting a little worse when I get out of bed.

I think I am getting a bit more nervous and emotional each day.

I go to my normal OB tomorrow. I think maybe I will get some measurements and see the little guy 🙂 Hopefully he is getting big! I’m getting too. I think I’ll avoid the scale this visit.

Brent got Cohen’s room taped off and my friend, Kristen, is going to paint it on Monday. 🙂

I’m not having his bedding made as I was before. I’m deciding on the bedding a bit down the road.

I’m having a brunch on Saturday and I’m pretty excited 🙂 It will be so nice and my hostesses are expecting about 35 or so people.

Here I am…..My arms are feeling puffy so I usually have a cardigan on…

I just got the dress from Target. The medium fits great for being a non-maternity dress. It almost goes down to the floor even. I could have done a small (surprisingly) but it would not have allowed any growing room..for the still-growing body parts. I think I like it better in person that pictures.I think the dress will be great post pregnancy as well.

I think that is all for this week.

Thank you all for the comments on thehouse. I will post after picture but it may be many many moons before that happens. We are only going to have a chance to do a few things before Cohen arrives. I’ll do some posts on it here and there.

The freckles – that is actually referred to as "pregnancy mask." My freckles got progressively darker as my pregnancy progressed. Wear as high of SPF as you can stand when you are outdoors b/c the sun makes it even worse. I actually got a dark patch above my lip – it is horrendous! I have a perpetual mustache!

Also, the pelvic pains? If they get too bad, ask your doctor if he/she can prescribe a pregnancy belt. It helped me tremendously.

At 39 weeks, getting out of bed sucks even worse. Honestly, though–around your time I do remember feeling pretty bad. I'm pretty sure you're feeling all that pain (when you get up from the couch) because cohen is probably starting to shift more downward. I remember my pelvis just killllllllling then.

Now, I feel like a 90 year old getting out of bed, lol.

Oh, and I feel you on the puffy arms. It happened to me too :/ I HATE wearing short sleeves or tanks. So I am thankful that I'm almost done with this pregnancy before summer truly hits here! (I may just always plan my pregnancies that way)

PS: wanted to say that your 'new' house is SO cute and has a TON of charm…just didnt get to comment yesterday!
